Helping someone clear a swamp pool. We've vacuumed all the silt out, shocked out all the ammonia, vacuumed more, slammed the pool continually and we are getting close to switching back to a puck feeder. they have a bucket of leslies 3" tabs and what appears to be a pentair model #320 feeder. The...

Came home today to no salt reading and the check cell light flashing. Pulled the cell and it's clean as a whistle. Unplugged it for a while and started it back up, same thing. It appears to be generating (bubbles coming from the return) but not as much as usual. It was working fine yesterday, a...

Thought our Aquatrol got fried yesterday by a very close lightening strike. Went outside after big hit and the pump wasn't running on the pool. I went and looked at the panel and there was no power. I unplugged the pump from the panel and plugged it into the receptacle and started the pump. I...

In a few weeks we'll be leaving for 2 weeks and I've been pondering what to do with the pool. We have a pass through winter cover that I plan on covering the pool with. I'm planning on dosing it good with bleach before we leave. I can run the swg and pump on the timer. I'm a little concerned...

I'm just curious if anyone could give me some average numbers on their FC PPM loss over a day. Preferably some southerners, our pool hits 90 degrees during the day lately with alot of sunshine. I just got done clearing the pool from a dash of algea, I cought it quickly and got on top of it fast...

We've been looking for a leak in our pool since last summer without any luck. Today my wifey decided to offer the kids in the pool 10.00$ to who ever could find the leak. Five minutes later one kid was 10.00$ richer. I have trouble staying down on the bottom of the pool to look for little leaks...

Ike left our pool a mess, but got it cleared up quickly thanks to what I've learned here. Somehow we ended up with a ripple in the liner down the center of the pool that sticks up about 3/8" which the vacume can't hardly cross over and collects dirt ect. Is there a easy way to get the liner...

Has anyone come up with a easy way to keep the underside of these steps clean without having to remove the ladder and move the steps towards the middle of the pool?

I've got a question about shocking the pool with a Swg. I've been shocking the pool for a few days now using bleach and running the pump 24/7 with the SWG set where it normally is (to maintain 3ppm FC). The FC stopped falling Sat. night, and held steady untill Sun. night. Sun. night I cut off...

Yesturday I was talking to a coworker that I've told about this website and the Pool Calculator. He's had a pool for a good while now and is tired of the pool store spending spree's and he seems to want to give BBB a try. Anyway, this conversation got me to thinking how lucky I've been to find...

How accurate are tests for salt? We have a 24' round pool thats suppose to be 4' deep which comes out to 13500. The pool people gave us 12- 40lb bags of salt, of which I only used 9 because thats the amount I came up with after reading the instructions for the Aquatrol unit. The Aquatrol has...
